Mixed Metals make Magical Mementos

There are lots of crazy rules about fashion. What to do and what not to do. You can’t mix stripes and polka dots. You can’t wear white after Labor Day. You can’t wear both camouflage and tie-dye. Mixing and matching in general is kind of frowned on. When it works, however, it is a beautiful thing. You can get two great looks that look great together. To make sure it works, it is best to leave it up to the professionals, like the jewelers that are now creating stunning pieces of fine jewelry featuring mixed metals in the designs.

There are two essential parts that are making this possible. The first is that there are more craftspeople in the jewelry business than there have been in a long time. This is why custom designed jewelry itself is a fast growing trend. Secondly, there have been new precious metals discovered that are easier to work with and more affordable than the traditional metals. Along with silver and gold, jewelers are now working with platinum, palladium, even titanium, to create some really magical pieces of jewelry.

So when it comes to black suit versus blue, or a belt versus suspenders, be sure to follow fashion 101. When it comes to jewelry however, don’t be afraid to show off your beautiful mixed metals and your unique flair for custom design jewelry.
